Dry Creek Habitat Enhancement Project – Phase 3, Part 3 (Reach 5A) (Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement No. 1600-2020-0116-R3, Amendment No. 1)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has approved Amendment No. 1 to Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement No. 1600-2020-0116-R3, authorizing the Sonoma County Water Agency to conduct additional maintenance activities within Reach 8 of Dry Creek as part of the Dry Creek Habitat Enhancement Project – Phase 3, Part 3 (Reach 5A). This regulatory action, issued under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, is not a federal procurement contract but a state environmental permit amendment requiring compliance with California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15096. The amendment was approved on July 8, 2025, and the project is located in Sonoma County, with the primary work area centered on Dry Creek at coordinates latitude 38.676273 and longitude -122.941684. The Sonoma County Water Agency serves as the lead applicant and implementer, while the California Department of Fish and Wildlife retains oversight authority, ensuring that all activities adhere to required mitigation measures, monitoring protocols, and environmental impact determinations. No financial value, pricing structure, or invoicing details are applicable as this is a regulatory permit rather than a funded procurement. The project does not involve competitive bidding, federal acquisition regulations, or traditional contract administration elements such as CLINs, payment offices, accounting codes, or delivery schedules. Instead, approval hinges on regulatory compliance, including evaluation of potential environmental effects, the necessity and adequacy of mitigation measures, and the existence of a monitoring and reporting plan. Key contacts for the project include James Hansen of CDFW as the Environmental Scientist and Yvette O’Keefe of the Sonoma County Water Agency as the Lead Agency Contact. There are no solicitations, offeror certifications, size status requirements, or packaging and marking specifications because this transaction is governed exclusively by state environmental laws, not federal contracting frameworks. All requirements center on environmental stewardship, with inspections and acceptance conducted by CDFW at the project site to verify adherence to approved mitigation conditions, and no formal deliverables, performance metrics, or technical specifications beyond regulatory alignment are defined in the document.
